I'm movin' to New York City
This old place it drags me down
You and I on the Empire State Building
We're not lookin' back we're looking down
Times Square and Grand Central Station
I love the snowflakes caught in your hair
Jack Frost is creepin' down Broadway
Hey baby, he's singin' Happy New Year
I love you more than you'd ever know
Let the bells ring
Let the band sing
It's Christmas in New York
Let the snow fall
hold me closer
It's Christmas in New York
St. Mark's Church in the Bowery
Danced our way down Avenue C
Met a man you said looked just like Elvis
"Hey baby, are you lonesome and looking for me?"
I love you, more than you'd ever know...
Let the bells ring
Let the band sing
It's Christmas in New York
Let the snow fall
hold me closer
It's Christmas in New York
Wouldn't it be nice to say
this could happen everyday,
for you and for me?
Let the bells ring
Let the band sing
It's Christmas in New York
Let the snow fall
hold me closer
It's Christmas in New York!
